Standard Spiegeleisen Sows from China
Large sow-shaped castings of spiegeleisen, a high-silicon, high-manganese pig iron used in foundries for gray iron production. HTS 7201.50.60.00 applies to this primary form spiegeleisen, distinct from other alloy pig irons by its specific mirror-like fracture and composition. Essential for introducing alloying elements during melting.

Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'spiegeleisen' with batch analysis; CBP often requires proof against high-strength steel misclassification
• Watch for partial remelting evidence which could reclassify as scrap under 7204
• Ensure weights per unit match primary form declarations (pigs/blocks)
